Labor Leaders Retarding Employment, Babson Says Have Been Shortsighted In Pressing Their Advantages too Far to Their Own Un doing and Detriment Os Everybody; Cites New England as an Example By ROGER vv. BABSON Copyright, 1935, Publishers Financial Bureau, Inc. Babson Park, Mass., Oct. 11 —Labor leaders, many, of whom are now as sembled at Atlantic City for the an nual convention of the A. F. of L., are in a more strategic position today than ever before in history. Con gress gave them tremendous powers in the Wagner Labor Act, but un fortunately did not impose upon them equally grave responsibilities. I feel very strongly that this was a vital mistake, and that it will lead to great trouble between employers and workers.

There were utterly unconfirmed re ports of 'sensational developments in the Italo-Ethiopian fighting zone to day. For instance, reports circulated in Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia, that Aduwa, the “city of vengeance,” taken 'by Premier Mussolini’s vast north, ern army, had been recaptured by an army of 52,000 Ethiopian warriors. One Reuter report was that 2,500 Italian soldiers, garrisoning the city, taken by storm last .Sunday, had been massacred by the Ethiopians in a de sperate drive to halt the advance of General de Bono’s mechanized forces. There was nothing to indicate these were more than rumors. Italian of ficials denied the reports. From other sources, however, Aduwa was reported quiet and Gen eral de Bono was on the way to the city from his Asmara, Eritrea, base to officiate at ceremonies in tribute to the 15,000 Italians slaughtered there in 1896. Another report from Diredawa, Ethiopia, noa confirmed by other sources, said that Ethiopian forces had captured Walwal and Wardaira on the southern front. An official announcement of Rome tended to bear out reports of quiet on the northern sector. Light Italian casuaties had occurred, said the com munique, and many Ethiopian chiefs had surrendered during the advance. There had been no confirmation of the capture of the holy city. Taxi Driver Claims Zenge Bared Crime Chicago, Oct. 11 (AP) —-William Leinnert, taxicab driver, testified to day at Mandeville W. Zenge’s mur der that Zenge told him he abduct ed Dr. Walter J.

It’s the fault of the doctors over at the hos pital. If they Jiad given him three quarts of blood, he wouldn’t have died.” Leinnert also provided the State’s first evidence i\s to the motive as signed for the crime—a jealous rage over the fact that Dr. Bauer a 38- year-old college \nstructor, had mar ried Zenge’s pretty childhood sweet heart. act to the detriment of labor.

North Carolina’s farm real estate tax per acre was shown to have de ceased nearly 50 per cent since 1928. The rate, as shown for last year, was 33 cents per acre, compared with a high average of 64 cents in 1928. Although the rate for the State is far below the average a few years ago much greater reductions must come ti equal the low average that prevail ed before the war. The North Carolina rate for 1913 was only ten cents an acre. After that year, the average for the State began to rise, and had reached 34 cents per acre in 1920.
